There's been a user that keeps posting eBay auctions, he's been banned here multiple times and creates new accounts over and over. So far here's the short list:
jamshed777

MODILUFTA300@YAHOO.COM
etihada380
jalcargo
atlasairplane
dreamliner7b7
diecastairplane
a380plane

ua747200000
afa380
sq7773000
a3406000
baxteer02

Would you trust a person with this many forum accounts? Buyers Beware! Don't have me to say I told you so!

Thank you JB! I can only recognize 4 up there,

As you all know by now, this individual apparently has multiple eBay ID as well and claims to have been 'helping sister' to start up...

I can think of eBay ID, ual7472000 and adoll16.

Truly wish to never to see this individual here again. one night this individual flooded the forum... check it out, haha.

Thanks for the warning, JB! Definitely not a trusted person to deal with because of his shady practices. If you guys see this e-mail in future, that's him and avoid at all cost: pulkitpatell@yahoo.com

Of course, he may have as many number of e-mail accounts as he did on DAC.

It's actually ua7472000, without the 'l' between the a and 7.

You can add baxteer02 to the list... You can see the type of scam artist he is by creating similar names to those who speak out against him!

EDIT: timhortons1 and inoutburger now added to the list...

Some of those names sound familiar - will have to see who I've done business with in the past.



Roarer - with one account on here and one, under my real name, on ebay.

I bought a couple of planes from a ua7472000 from Irving, Texas.

That was from an advert on here and bought on the 28th of October.
The postage time hasn't bothered me much as other items I've bought have taken ages to come as well (also we had the postal strike, and things are only now settling down again here, so I've learned to be patient).

Postage didn't seem too bad to me considering where it's apparently coming from.
If it's a genuine seller on here, sorry, but I'm just a little curious now as you can imagine!!

Oh no!

Looking at the thread again, it looks like I might have been bummed without realising at the time.


What to do??

Did you pay him via Paypal? If yes, try a dispute and have Paypal ask for some proof that he really shipped the model.

Upside - you may have his real address then, and thereby his real phone number. Never mind the time zones...

On the list above, it's:

baxteer02.

Also, it's:
waffeel


For the record, I have bought from Waffle before too without any ill effects (that I've so far noticed I mean).

That would be me...... "waffle-collectibles"... he tried to copy me like he did you with waffeel . I think I've done business with half the forum who will vouch for me.

I've removed my personal information from the above posts.

Ok, here's some interesting info. I found out Sunday night after I won Virgin Atlantic A340-600 Inflight sales only that I was the "buyer" of this guy under ua7472000 Pulkit Patel, Irving TX. It all started when I went to pay for the item and got a message that he couldn't receive payments at that time. So I E-mailed Mr. Patel and told him so. His response was that he had some chargeback issues from other purchases and his account was limited. I finally did get him paid. No response about getting the money or shipment So, after getting educated by the forum I contacted Ebay and told them my situation as well as the fact he uses other names and locations to sell items. No specifics givin, none asked. I asked for his phone number,got it and called him. He sounded very nervous on the phone. So ebay is aware of him.
